Dynamic Trading Strategies and Portfolio Choice

Abstract

Traditional mean-variance efficient portfolios do not capture the potential wealth creation opportunities provided by predictability of asset returns.We propose a simple method for constructing optimally managed portfolios that exploits the possibility that asset returns are predictable.We implement these portfolios in both single and multi-period horizon settings.We compare alternative portfolio strategies which include both buy-and-hold and fixed weight portfolios.We find that managed portfolios can significantly improve the mean-variance trade-off, in particular, for investors with investment horizons of three to five years.Also, in contrast to popular advice, we show that the buy-and-hold strategy should be avoided.
